Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation via xmi_can_exchange_reflink_flags(), can move the reflink inode flag from the file that currently has it to the other file, as long as exactly one side is marked. This assumes that the file contents, and therefore all shared extents, are exchanged. That assumption is not true when XFS_EXCHMAPS_INO1_WRITTEN is set.
